Willatts says there are a number of major issues the municipality should be moving on and has yet to do so. C However, he says, "I will not be making election promises that can not be kept." Among the issues that need guidance guidance are a regional plan that is outdated outdated by 10 years, a community centre centre for Courtice, and GO Transit.

Looking at the downtown area of Bowmanville, Willatts wants council council to encourage businesses to locate here. "We need to encourage businesses businesses we do not currently have to come into town." He also wants council to take a stand on improving the visual atmosphere atmosphere of the business core. .

One worker commented that if the mother dog had been vaccinated vaccinated the immunization would have passed onto the litter. I There is no blood test to determine determine if an animal is infected. The oply test that can be done is on the brain of a dead animal "I believe dial, at all four corners within the towns of Clarington, one meter should be designated "handicapped "handicapped only."

His solution to die lack of ice time is to offer an incentive to food chains to contribute towards building building ice surfaces. "In return for concession concession stands inside sports complexes, complexes, they would put in a second ice pad at all Clarington arenas at no cost to tax payers," he suggests. Also regarding sport complexes, he would like all of them to be run by the Community Services Department. Department. This would allow all of them to be run by "die same mles and regulations." This in turn would help provide time to local citizens and teams. Looking west to Courtice, Wil latts believes it is time that community community had a community centre. "Courtice has become a very large community. I believe they should be entitled to a sports complex. complex. Citizens are concerned with the environment.

However, believes it may be necessary to cut down trees to make way for future growth. He adds: "If trees must be cut down, a developer must be expected to put up two for each one removed." removed." • Willatts says he is concerned with the number of projects that end up being contracted out to companies companies which do not provide employment employment to area residents. "We must look at contracts that are tendered out. "Jobs are being filled outside of Clarington. We must keep these jobs inside Clarington to create employment employment within our municipality.

Hubbard Runs for Region Seat Former Town of Newcastle Mayor Mayor Marie Hubbard is running for the Ward Two regional seat. Hubbard told The Statesman on Friday morning, Oct. 14, the Bowmanville Bowmanville area "needs a strong voice on regional council." She also noted, the strong voice should come "from a resident of Bowmanville as opposed to candidates candidates living in Ward One." A few of the major issues local and regional councils need to look at are crime and recreation. "Crime is a major issue. People are concerned more and more with the idle youth in the community, the amount of vandalism occurring and the mess in the downtown core," Hubbard said. She would like initiatives to come from the regional level of government government concerning better support services for youth, especially those receiving social assistance. "I hear it from the residents that when the monthly cheques come in the parties arc on " Hubbard noted. Not only the parties 'inside apartment apartment buildings but also out on the streets of Bowmanville. "We have to take back our streets and our business section. A number of people have told me about purse snatching and rocks thrown onto cars causing damage." Hubbard said she supports the idea of either a youth centre or having having the municipal Community Services Services Department getting the youth involved in activities. On the issue of recreation, Hubbard Hubbard noted that area residents are stakeholders in the local environment environment and must find solutions to problems, including the future of the West Side Creek Marsh. She would also like to see the municipality purchase "lands for public use at the lakefront." "I remember when I was a kid that the beach was a nice place to play," she said. "It's time to get a road down there that functions." Marie Hubbard Hubbard said the municipality o,ceds to look at lands they already own at the lakefront and utilize them for the benefit of the area residents residents and their families. The former mayor, local and regional regional councillor spent a number of years on council. "I served as a local councillor for one-two year term and three terms as regional councillor and one term as mayor," Hubbard noted. Since the 1991 election, when she was swept out of the mayor's office office by Diane Hamrc, Hubbard has been upgrading her studies towards an Environmental Studies program at York University.
